Yeah, right. Let some thirds party app collect all your info in their secure cloud. Do you also give Monarch login to your bank account?

This seems like Claude sub agents. I personally had tried to use sub agents for repetitive tasks with very detailed instructions, but was never able to get it to work really well in different contexts.

Here is a very interesting thread with owners https://www.4xeforums.com/threads/wrangler-4xe-ota-update-10... Some interesting observations:

    * vehicle loses power while in motion

   * some owners reported not accepting the update, but it still proceeded to update

    * off hours support told them call on Monday

Jeep has been riding on their reputation for while. If you still loyal to this brand, then it’s on you guess.

It actually lists milk as an ingredient. So even if you are have doubts if its milkless butter, the ingredient list can clarify it.

You are right, it’s not sharing. It leaking. It should be “USPS leaked customer postal addresses to Meta, LinkedIn and Snap”

California needs to do away with restriction on property tax raise. They tax is probably ridiculously low for the amount of land they own.

If the fact that that these families grabbed that land before the union blocks state from having an easement to access the land, then the state should protect private property of these ranchers at all. So if some private militia enters and forcefully take over the ranchers land, the state should not intervene then.

They can’t loose their already vested options for refusing to sign NDA upon departure. Maybe they are offered additional grants or expedited vesting of the remaining options.

My biased opinion that this is Frontend/JS landscape. The amount of tools used to make relatively simple things is staggering. I feel similar things going on in DevOps.

I hated running and still do, but the only thing that makes it “fun” for me is running on the hills with intervals. On days I can sprint up a small hill the high afterwards is amazing. It does take a couple of nights of good sleep to recover though.

Is there any car with sodium batteries sold in the US? I am ok with cheap, 100-mile range small sedan that I can commute in and charge overnight.

YeBanKo — Wed, 01 May 2024 00:54:41 +0000

This change is not gonna legalize it, but will just make it “less illegal” acknowledging its medical use. While logically it make sense to move in this direction, I am afraid that ultimate consequences might be few large companies dominating the market completely and probably growing stuff offshore. If it gets a pass for recreational use then we will see weed induced soda in vending machines at school in couple of generations.

YeBanKo — Sat, 27 Apr 2024 23:26:56 +0000

So Meta invests in open source AI and one of the reasons is to undermine competition from smaller AI companies, like OpenAI, etc. Wouldn’t Python tram at Google serve the same purpose? Building tools for AI and ML and open sourcing it, so that smaller companies wouldn’t have an edge and never become a threat.
